Fashion retailer ASOS has joined forces with global payments and shopping provider Klarna to launch ‘Giveback Day’, a lovely initiative to support vulnerable people during COVID-19. Both brands have committed to support the International Committee of the Red Cross in its frontline response to the coronavirus crisis, and to help those living in countries affected by conflict.

So, what exactly is ‘Giveback Day’ you ask? Taking place across the UK, Germany, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United States, £1, $1 or €1 will be donated for every customer who places a Klarna transaction at ASOS on 29th April 2020. Amazingly, Klarna hasn’t placed a limit on the amount it will donate as part of this initiative.

Speaking about ‘Giveback Day’, Eve Williams, Brand Experience Director at ASOS added: “At ASOS we want to do as much as we can to show our appreciation for the vital organisations that are helping during this worrying time. We are pleased to be able to extend our ASOS Supports campaign to this initiative with Klarna in supporting the ICRC.”
